Many of us have stubbed a toe or tripped while walking the streets of Athens. We feel embarrassed, recover, and keep going. But for some of us, these âlittle bumpsâ in the sidewalk or at curb cuts make traveling through our streets and neighborhoods hazardous. At best, they limit someoneâs ability to get to where they plan to go and, at worst, cause injury. The Accessibility Committee of the Athens City Commission on Disabilities works with the City of Athens by calling attention to accessibility issues and partners with City officials to find ways to make improvements so all members of our community can participate in everyday life activities including shopping, voting, going to the movies, and eating at our local restaurants.

With all eight City Council seats up for grabs, two without incumbents, this year could bring Athens one of the most competitive election seasons in recent memory.
